Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, Wildlife management area between Selkirk and Purcell mountains, British Columbia.
The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area encompasses 7,000 hectares of wetlands from Kootenay Lake to the United States border with marshlands and rivers.
The area, established in 1968 after 26 years of conservation efforts, required collaboration between biologists, residents, BC Hydro, and Ducks Unlimited for infrastructure development.
The Ktunaxa people maintained connections to these wetlands for thousands of years, as evidenced through archaeological findings in the region.
Visitors access five loop trails and two viewing towers at Corn Creek Marsh from Highway 3 on West Creston Road, with year-round opportunities for hiking and wildlife observation.
This wetland serves as British Columbia's sole breeding location for Forster's tern and contains the only population of leopard frogs in the region.
